Christmas Pugs

Hi there. Ever since I got Spellbinders Big Pug Etched Dies set , I knew I wanted to make Pug themed Christmas cards. I mean you know what they said about Pug parents,we tend to be obsessed with Pug and am no exception. 

So, here's a couple Christmas cards I made using the set and Cats & Pugs Accessory Dies set.

I actually have a reindeer hat for my Pug that weirdly enough he refused to wear. Hah! I have several Pugs throughout my life and you just never know which one will like dressing up and which one not. I rarely dressed up my Pugs to be honest, just on occasion like birthday and Christmas. And, when the weather cold they might get to wear their pajamas.

Just a quick post to share these cuties and I hope they inspire you to get crafty this week. Have a beautiful week, friends. Till next time.

Cockatoo Birthday Cards

 Hi  there. This year, one of my intention was to use sets that I've purchased but haven't used or have used once or twice and then nothing. I think as crafter one of our joy is when we get on our hands sets that we just have to have. But then quite often, we got the set and there... the sets just sit there waiting to be used. With this intention, I try to change that habit. I try to remember why I have to have the set and take the time to create with it.

One of those set is this Waffle Flower Tropical Kit. I remember when I saw this set, I was like, oh my goodness, it's so cute and I must have it. And, yep, it sat there for I wanna say about a year. Hah... This weekend, I finally get to it and created a bunch of cards. Started with this trio. 

A note, this post is really not about promoting any particular sets as many of the sets I used on this set are no longer available. My post today is really about creating and  blogging just for the fun of it. :)

I love tropical theme, after all I came from tropical country. For the background, I used an old, discontinued set that I believe from Concord & 9th. For the sentiment I used sentiment from Papertrey Ink Beautiful Butterflies set. Again, this set also already been discontinued. Bottom line, I think we all have sets that we just keep because it's timeless and we love it regardless whether they're new or not.

The next card use sentiment from another old Papertey Ink Birthday Style set.

Last but not least, the last card using sentiment from Papertrey Ink Side By Side Sentiments set.

I had lots of fun making these cards. There's freedom in creating when I can  just mix and match various brands in 1 card. After all, we spent a lot of money building our crafting stash, might as well use it as much as we can right? I really hope my post today inspire you to go through your stash and give old sets another chance. Have fun creating!

Spellbinders August Stitched Die of The Month

 Hi there crafty peeps. Time to share the latest Spellbinders Stitched Die of the Month  and it's a fun one. Of course, I just have to pair it with my favorite set, Party Puggles. The idea is this little trouble maker get into trouble playing with paint, thus the splatter of paints on its body. :)

The pug die didn't come with any die for the tongue, so I just cut one, because come on, most pugs you see tend to have their tongue out and that's one of their cute factor in my opinion as a pug mama.

I have a feeling I'll use this Party Puggles dies set a lot. I can't help it. That's all for today and hope you enjoy today's post. Till next time.

Forysthia & Winter Rose

Hi friends. For today I want to share this 3D card I made using Forysthia set. I am keeping the card pretty simple and paired it with Always & Forever Sentiment Strips Press Plate.

And, I just have to make another card using Winter Rose Background Press Plate because it is such a gorgeous set. Instead of doing letterpress technique, this time I used it with hot foiling and boy, I love, love the result. I almost didn't want to color it at all. For the sentiment I hot foiled one from one of my favorite set More Sentiments Hot Foil set.

Am hoping to build my Christmas card stash early this year as my friend signed me up for a pop-up holiday market. Wasn't expecting it, but it'll be quite an experience. Anyway, just a quick post and I wish you all a great Sunday.
